The Samsung has sold 10 million units of the Galaxy S2 worldwide in only five months since it dropped, according to a recent announcement made by the company.

In the U.S., the Samsung Galaxy S2 has been released by Sprint as the Epic 4G Touch and by AT&T under its original name.
Samsung’s smartphone has received excellent reviews, and in many areas, outdoes the iPhone which is why it is rapidly attracting smartphone users.
Samsung released the device as an “iPhone killer,” or a smartphone that would finally solidify Android’s dominance in the smartphone market.
T-Mobile announced that it will release the Galaxy S2 on October 10.
The carrier’s version of the device will include a 1.5 GHz processor as opposed to the 1.2 GHz processor featured on the Sprint and AT&T model.
